Disabled Access Public Information NoticeFor permits regarding all public accommodations and commercial entities, please take note:
CA. Gov. Code Section 65941.6. (a) Each local agency shall develop materials relating to the requirements of the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. Sec. 12101 et seq.). The local agency shall provide these materials to an applicant along with notice that approval of a permit does not signify that the applicant has complied with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
Approval of this permit does not indicate that you are in compliance with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or with all California statutes regarding accessibility. Plan check examination and project design is performed according to the requirements of the California Building Standards contained in the California Code of Regulations Title 24 (California Building Codes). Compliance with the Building Codes does not guarantee that you are aligned with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the California Unruh Act, or any other civil rights legislations regarding accessibility for persons with disabilities. You may be required to perform additional upgrades and or offer alternative methods of compliance in order to meet your State and Federal obligations.
Information published by the U.S. Department of Justice that outlines the ongoing barrier removal requirements for “existing buildings” and offers suggestions on possible solutions for dealing with existing barriers can be found at the following web addresses:
Please note that contrary to popular myth, no building is “grandfathered” under federal law. All existing buildings have an ongoing obligation to remove barriers whenever readily achievable and to offer alternate methods of offering goods and services when barriers cannot be removed.
In this regard, we will require that the design professional forward this information to the owner or tenant of the public accommodation or commercial entity addressed in this permit
